Compound heterozygous HAX1 mutations in a Swedish patient with severe congenital neutropenia and no neurodevelopmental abnormalities.

29 Nov 2009 Kostmann disease or severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is an autosomal recessive disorder of neutrophil production. Homozygous HAX1 mutations were recently identified in SCN patients belonging to the original family in northern Sweden described by ... Read more...

Development of galanin-containing nerve fibres in rat tibia.

4 Nov 2009 Galanin exerts tonic inhibition of nociceptive input to the central nervous system. Recently, this peptide was demonstrated in several neuronal and non-neuronal structures in bones and joints. In this study, the time of appearance and topographic ... Read more...

Richard Lower (1631-1691): acknowledging his notable contributions to the exploration of the nervous system. Historical vignette.

30 Oct 2009 Richard Lower (1631-1691), an anatomist and physician, was born in St. Tudy, Cornwall, England, and became an avid follower of William Harvey and a pupil to Sir Thomas Willis. Unfortunately, little is written of his contributions to the study of the ... Read more...
